Transformational Leadership

Types of leadership and management

Though there is no clear prescription of the leadership style that is to be followed by a given industry or type of organization, it is worth noting that leadership styles can be combined in order to have a system that runs smoothly particularly in the nursing industry.

Transformational Leadership in nursing profession

This theory portends that leaders are inspirational to the subordinates and they offer motivation to the followers which helps in training them and shaping them up for possible succession in the future. This approach identifies people depending on their strengths, recognizes the strengths and taps them to enable the employee perform to his full capacity. This approach is known to nurture innovations and talent exploration and the employees are rewarded for their creativity (Management Study Guide, 2008).

Due to the ever changing and metamorphic nature of the healthcare system within the U.S.A., there is need for the nurses and even the leadership within the profession to adopt the transformational leadership style so as to be able to identify places that change is needed. It also allows the nurses and doctors to feel more confident and comfortable in the development and the implementation of the healthcare policies. It is also essential since nursing is a field that has ever changing nursing technology (Smith & Mary A., 2011).

In my nursing profession, I have always believed in strengths within the colleagues that I work with. I have always strived to inspire the entire team and through focusing on a shared vision concerning the future of the hospital as well as the members of staff at all the levels. I have always remained highly visible within the hospital bearing the fact that I spend a lot of time communicating to seniors, colleagues and the support staff. I always believe that in executing a duty assigned to us as a team, there is need for each person to get a responsibility and part to play rather than heaping all the work on a single person. Delegation of duties is also central to me since when given an assignment, I always find it appropriate and fitting to involve other colleagues in executing it.

Apparently I also have an infectious enthusiasm and still will need support by detailed people, which, as noted by Melinda Z. (2013) is a strong point of people with transformational leadership skills. This to me goes to the colleagues, juniors and even the managers or seniors within the hospital. This quality was once exemplified outstandingly in my approach to an issue that most colleagues were not comfortable with but had no way out to handle it.
